They had more than twice as many shots and 3 times the amount of shots on target. How many more headers from opposition players totally unmarked around the penalty spot will go in before we decide to mark those players? We gave them too much time and space and made them look better than they are. Also, why do we find it so hard to find a teammate with 5 and 10 yard passes? Are we too static? Not running into space to be available for a pass? We're getting the basics wrong.


Some fan reactions elsewhere on "social media" get more ridiculous by the week. Saw one cracker on FB from a bloke saying something to the effect that this is, tactically, the worst he'd seen since Docherty's 80s side. I pointed out TD was gaffer from '77 to '79. No response from the originator as yet and I don't think there will be one.
